The four prongs are engineered to snag on the bottom, making this anchor well suited for areas with weeds, coral, stone, or gravel where a fluke-style anchor would struggle to set. It is intended for short-term anchoring in low-current conditions rather than situations that call for maximum holding power, so it works well for a lunch stop, a fishing break, or securing a small craft close to shore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the prongs fold inward, the anchor collapses down for easy stowage in a small locker, hatch, or storage bag, then unfolds and locks into position for use. Its compact 12 x 3 x 3 inch folded footprint and 3.3 pound weight make it easy to carry, deploy, and retrieve by hand, and its galvanized finish is intended to stand up to regular exposure to water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gen3 Marine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-5003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.5LB Grapnel Anchor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grapnel Anchors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four-pronged, folding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 x 3 x 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 810037461916\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the weight of the Gen3 Marine 5-5003 grapnel anchor?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine 5-5003 grapnel anchor weighs 3.3 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many prongs does this anchor have?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a four-pronged design, which is the classic grapnel configuration for snagging on bottom debris and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size boats is the 5-5003 grapnel anchor best suited for?\u003c\/strong\u003e This anchor is sized for personal watercraft, kayaks, dinghies, and other smaller vessels rather than large boats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this anchor hold in strong current?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The Gen3 Marine grapnel anchor is designed for short-term use in low-current areas, not for situations requiring extreme holding power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat bottom types work best with this grapnel anchor?\u003c\/strong\u003e The four-pronged design of the 5-5003 is intended to snag on weeds, coral, stone, or gravel bottoms, where the prongs can catch on objects along the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the anchor fold for storage?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the prongs on the Gen3 Marine 5-5003 fold in for easy, compact storage when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of this anchor?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Gen3 Marine grapnel anchor measures 12 x 3 x 3 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 5-5003 anchor made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a galvanized finish, intended to help it hold up to regular water exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this anchor rated by weight class, such as a 3.5 lb anchor?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, it is a 3.5 lb class grapnel anchor, matching its listed 3.3 pound actual weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Gen3 Marine 5-5003 grapnel anchor?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for this grapnel anchor is 810037461916.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this anchor good for permanent or long-term mooring?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 5-5003 is intended for short-term anchoring rather than long-term or permanent mooring use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gen3 Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991679971547,"sku":"GEN-5-5003","price":9.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/41HZPztmGIL.jpg?v=1784509767","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/gen3-marine-3-5-lb-folding-grapnel-anchor-galvanized-four-prong-design-for-kayaks-dinghies-small-boats-mpn-5-5003","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
